State senators will have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to suggest changes to the Ways and Means Committee-approved sports betting bill that the Senate is expected to debate Thursday.

The Senate on Monday afternoon established the deadline for amendments to the long-awaited legal wagering bill (S 2844), which is slated to be debated and likely passed on Thursday.

The Senate bill advanced favorably Friday from the Senate Ways and Means Committee without opposition among its 17 members. Twelve senators voted in favor, four – Sens. Barry Finegold, Patricia Jehlen, John Keenan and Ryan Fattman – reserved their rights and did not weigh in either for or against, and Sen. Adam Hinds did not vote, according to committee voting information made available Monday afternoon.
